Weekly Career Horoscope: October 7 – October 13, 2019

See what the stars have in store for your zodiac sign

Pisces, the places you have travelled to will be your biggest muse this week. See how you can assimilate your learning to create something magnificent. Aquarius, think of new ways to acquire knowledge. If going back to school is not your vibe, become a part of community where you can share learnings. Cancer, you have the ability to see people as they are. Don’t let them take advantage of you repeatedly.

The major change you are going through promises to have an impact on your career too. It’s not about doing different things. It’s about doing the same things differently. Stay curious and show initiative, Aries. For some, the education or formal training may be on the cards. If the given course helps you level up and look at the world differently, the answer is yes. Remember, the things that don’t work out will prove to be blessings in disguise. Beware of pushing against the flow.

Let’s talk about the Japanese concept of ikigai, aka your reason for being. Your ikigai is the midpoint between passion, mission, vocation and profession. The idea that you can get paid to do something you love which also serves society. Taurus, it is entirely possible that the projects you are working on at this point are keeping you up at night instead of giving you a reason to jump out of bed in the morning. As always, see how and where you need to realign. Remember, small changes can make a big difference.

Things may or may not work according to your plan. Could there be a larger plan at play here? We’ll just have to wait and watch, Gemini. For now, focus on simplifying your life by eliminating what you do not need. This way, you’ll have less to lose when the winds of change make their way towards you. On the upside, this sudden shift in your reality will help you look at the world from a different lens. Once you let go of the idea of how you want things to turn out, you’ll find a mind-blowing solution.

Your current scenario brings the phrase, ‘fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me’, to mind. Cancer, you have the ability to see people as they are. Don’t let them take advantage of you repeatedly. Stand up for yourself and draw boundaries wherever necessary. Some of you may feel like the cross is getting too much to bear. There’s a chance you have taken on more than you can handle. See how and where you need to simplify.

Leo, you are a leader par excellence, one who is not only living her highest potential, but also inspiring those around you to do the same. There’s a reason they are in awe of you! This chapter of your life requires you to find a balance between your head and heart so you can make impartial decisions. Remember, there will be important choices to make. The direction you take will determine the success of this venture.

Your mood: building an empire, creating art, making magic, living consciously, and inspiring others to achieve their highest potential. This is the start of a brand new adventure for you, Virgo. Trust that each day will be better. The only thing you want to be mindful of: the choices you make. It will be easy to get carried away given the number of doors that are opening up. To simplify things, choose the one that will take you closer to your long-term goals.

The trouble is, we often take on more than we’re equipped to handle, subsequently giving ourselves grief for not having achieved our targets. See how and where you have erred against yourself. Simplifying your to-do list could be the answer to simplifying your life. Remember, people are entitled to their opinions, just like you are to yours. You have the choice to disengage from an argument that’s draining you and taking you away from your sacred mission.

Picture this: you waltz into work at 9am after having the best night, only to find out that you’ve been fired and/or your department has ceased to exist. What do you do under these dire circumstances, Scorpio? Do you mourn the loss of what could have been, or do you take this as a wonderful opportunity to start over? Let optimism be your preferred choice of drug when the Universe pulls the rug out from underneath your feet. Think of this breakdown as one that’s making space for your biggest breakthrough.

This week finds you living your sacred purpose, vibrating at the frequency of joy and abundance, inspiring those around you, and spreading them good vibes—while looking like the most radiant version of yourself. Get your creative juices flowing. The project you’re working requires you to think and act differently. Your manifestation game is also getting stronger, Sagittarius. Remember, you are a sorceress. A deliberate creator of your destiny. An Esther Hicks’ quote to inspire you: “see them, visualise them, and expect them—and they will be.”

How do you feel about dark humour, dear Capricorn? When things go south, which they are likely to, you’ll find that the best way to cope is by channeling your inner comic. Remember, creation and destruction are two sides of the same coin. The more centred you are through the changes, the easier it will be able to find a gateway. There’s a new beginning on the other side of this transition. Be cognisant of the signs and symbols. The mysterious forces above are Illuminating your path.

Your mantra today: know more, grow more. If you are in University at the moment, honour your books. Commitment to your goals will help you get ahead in the game. If you are living the nine-to-five life, turn to unconventional forms of learning. Pick up a journal, sign up for an e-course or listen to a podcast on the way back from work. Alternatively, you could join a workshop or seek platforms where you can share knowledge.

The thing about travel is that it opens our minds to new possibilities and makes us look at the world through a new lens. The places you have visited will be your biggest muse this week. See how you can assimilate your learning to create something magnificent. For some, moving to a new address or expanding the business may be on the cards. Keep an eye out for new opportunities. Learning to strike when the iron is hot will prove to be the key to your success.
